Automotive PSOC™ 4 Series

Overview

Automotive PSOC™ 4 Series subcategories

The automotive PSOC™ 4 is a scalable and reconfigurable platform architecture for a family of programmable embedded system controllers with an Arm® Cortex®-M0 CPU, while being AEC-Q100 compliant. It combines programmable and reconfigurable analog and digital blocks with flexible automatic routing.  The Family provides the most reliable capacitive touch-sensing and proximity-sensing solutions for automotive HMI systems with reduced system costs, even in harsh automotive environments.

The automotive PSOC™ 4 reduces total system cost by integrating programmable Analog Front Ends (AFEs) and programmable digital blocks.

Key Benefits

  • Enables a touch user interface with up to 24 I/Os
  • SmartSense Auto-tuning speeds time-to-market and eliminates the need for manual system tuning.
  • Prevents false touches caused by liquids.
  • Implements advanced proximity sensing: wake-on-approach, liquid level detection, and IR sensor replacement.

Automotive PSOC™ 4 reduces system cost with Programmable Digital Blocks, Programmable Analog Blocks, CapSense and LIN Slave to:

  • Create custom AFEs for sensors and add sophisticated user interfaces
  • Communicate to car network with integrated LIN
  • Slave controllers
  • PSOC™ Creator enables easy integration of multiple ICs and system interfaces into one PSoC

  • Zero false touches reported by the touch sensors in harsh automotive environment.
  • Reduces Radiated Emissions (RE) by easily modifying CapSense Component parameters in PSOC™ CreatorTM IDE.
  • Complies with standard emission and immunity specifications like CISPR 25, ISO 11452, IEC 61967 and IEC 62132.
